A Warren woman is mourning the death of her dog and a pet bird killed Monday by a fire inside her apartment.

"I got a call at work from my daughter who lives in the same apartment building. She wasn't home but got a call that there was a fire in the apartment building," said Lana Farley-Boyd, who resided at the Russell Apartments, on Toepfer Road near Ryan Road, for the last 10 years.

Farley-Boyd said her granddaughter and another tenant went to her ground-floor apartment of the 16-unit, 2-story building, but didn't get inside, just as firefighters arrived.
